The JBL Wave Buds provide a comfortable feel per design when in your ears, having 8mm dynamic drivers giving deep bass sound for audio and a built-in mic for hands-free stereo calls, they offer up to 8 hours of battery life and 24 additional hours in the included charging case.
They are IP54-rated for dust and water resistance, making them suitable for outdoor use, just in case you get caught up in the rain while on a walk or you are heading out for an adventure on a dusty trail.

IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP54, the JBL Wave Buds's rating for solids indicates that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
JBL Wave Buds have a weight of 9g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Wave Buds are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds together.
JBL Wave Buds have sweat resistance
JBL Wave Buds have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Wave Buds have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.

The JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
The JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Buds's measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The JBL Wave Buds's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

JBL Wave Buds support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Wave Buds will work fine with your iPhone. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.

The JBL Wave Buds have 2 microphones.
The JBL Wave Buds have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound.
JBL Wave Buds microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The vastness of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a measure of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the earbud microphone can recognize.
JBL Wave Buds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound so that they can still be heard even when wearing them
